In this instructable I'll show you how you make a cardboard vase out of basic things that you probable have.

This is great for someone having a low budget party! 

the stuff needed is:

Brush
Glue
Cardboard
Knife
Soda/Fanta, 0,5L bottle
dumbbells ca 5 kg

Finding the Shape

To get the best results you should find a easy but cool shape that you want your vase to have, of course this can change during the build.....

I made a drawing of the bottle first, to know how big the vase had to be. 

Cutting, Cutting, Cutting......

now you need to cut out the shape, I did not change the shape during the cutting, but I rounded the edges later !

Remember to cut out two pieces that don't have a hole for the bottle, these will be the sides.

Gluing

Use the brush and the glue. After gluing everything, lay the dumbbells on top, as shown. 

Final Touch and You're Done !

Round the edges a bit, to get the cardboard inside more visible...
